How to choose the right option in a dropdown menu with a custom variable

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

The problem that I have is that I can't let the rpa choose the right option.  The instance is saved in a variable. What I thought of doing was to save the 1 in wg1 in a variable and compare them with each other, but I don't know how to do that.

 

A new wgX is generated each time this rpa runs.
I save the value that will replace X in the previous process as a variable. But here is how I choose wg1 for example.
but beware, this may even be wg25 in the next running's.

 

Or is there a better way to solve this problem? Can you guys explain it to me?

    If you are storing this number in a variable, I think using a "set drop-down list value in window" action should suffice:

    Let me know if that doesn't work.
